Well I guess I could start this dead thread back up. I’m not as cool or talented as GBrettin “come up” “pag” but the motor is finally completed!

Turbo came in today, guess I’ll be there first or one of the few that will be running a G series turbo on the boosted performance kit.

What are the advantages of the G series turbo, Elmo? Glad to see your build is moving again!

You're not missing out on the headaches i've had to endure as a rookie. Tearing down the engine sucked.

Main reason is they can take a pounding, it will live majority of its life on the track. Water jackets for increase cooling, oil
Passages, compact.

On something like that with the Miata.

I suck at this. G series turbo is mounted to the Boosted Performance manifold. Maybe the only G series turbo on this kit

Elmo370z · 04-15-2021, 10:23 PM

Ron Davis radiator is mounted.

Elmo370z · 04-15-2021, 10:24 PM

Elmo370z · 05-28-2021, 01:23 AM
